ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19152 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 07:56 am Curious... Would be interesting to see forum statistics showing: 1) The number of new community members (those who join by creating a forum account)--perhaps as a daily average, such as X new joins daily. Compare the current average (perhaps last 60 days) against past annual averages (2020, 2019, 2018, etc.). Growing? Shrinking? About the same? 2) Of those who join, how many become active? Of those who become active, do they stay active or drift away? Coming up with those stats could be a bit complex. Would need to decide what active is (and isn't)--perhaps active having one or more posts weekly, inactive dropping to less that one post monthly. And what about the forum's overall trajectory of activity--ever upward, or slow decay? Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 08:15 am I recently read a post that ~95% of all posters only post 1 or a few posts and then go away. And I'm not surprised. When you think about the average poster is looking to make a quick buck and when the coin isn't worth more than face they leave. As to active, I believe that there only a few of use that stay and keep active. Looking at the mill pills (over 1000 posts) there aren't thousands of us. But like life many leave and come back. I don't know if anyone can answer your questions, but I believe that the majority that join never post more than a few posts. And generally you can tell by teh 3rd or 4th post whether the person will stay.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19152 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 09:00 am hfjacinto -- That's generally my sense too. Not everyone who joins is closing in on 5K posts within 6 months. There are many who sign-up, pose a question or two, then move on--some happy, others less so. A few become persistent contributors. All good. Cool that the forum shows up on the first page of Google search results. Report this Post to the Staff
